The car was never driven in winter and has little to no rust.
I'm the 3rd owner and have it since 2011. Bought it with 62k on the clock and only put another 4k miles in 3 years on it. Car was bought completely stock (other than short ram intake) from a gentlemen in his 50s who had 4 more other cars and was driving miata on a very rare occasions. The original owner was his friend who owned it for the first 3 or 4 years.

The car is in a really good shaped - the one you would expect from a car with just 66k, never driven & garaged in winter through it's entire life and well taken care of. The car is my joy ride which I basically only drive on the weekends.
The only thing that needs attention is paint - I polished the car after I got it and the paint layer became very thin so the car currently has a few minor scratches here and there. There are a couple of minor dents as well. I was looking to repaint the car entirely, so the issue wasn't addressed.
The car will be sold with a factory hardtop which also has some paint chips.

There was no corners cut or expense spared maintaining or modifying the car.

I purchased the car as I always wanted cabriolet for the summer. Then I made a few mods to make it more enjoyable to drive. The car had never been to track or auto-x.
I had all modes documented on my old pc, but HDD died and I never recovered the list so I might be forgetting something. All modes were professionally installed by a good friend of mine who is a well known mechanic & diagostics specialist in my area.


Maintence:
- Oil changed every spring at the beginning of the season with full syntetic mobil 1 5w30
- Timing belt (oem), spark plugs (NGK irridium), spark plug wires (NGK), brake fluid (motul rbf600) & battery (oem) were replaced when I got the car in 2011


Modes list (all modes were done by me and have less than 3 years / 4k miles on them):
- Rays engineering Volk Racing TE-37 15x7 white rims with 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec tires (purchased in 2011, have around 4k miles on them)
- Rays red valve stems, Rays Formula hub caps, Rays extended red lug nuts 
- Boss Frog Clearview Single Hoop rollbar painted flat white
- NB 6-speed Mazdaspeed Miata transmission purchased with around 25k miles on it, currently sitting at around 28k
- NB 4.1 limited slip rear differential with currently around 5k miles on it
- Energy Suspension rear diff bushings
- Mazda competition motor mounts
- 949 Racing Twin Disc organic race clutch
- Upgraded clutch master & slave cylinders, stainless steel clutch hose
- Flyin' Miata cannon rear subframe brace
- Flyin' Miata full butterfly brace
- I'm probably forgetting something since the original mode list is gone

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.

Forza Horizon G-Shock Car Pack brings Nissan IDx, Subaru Brat [w/video]

Tue, Jan 6 2015

With winter's icy grip around much of the nation, now may be the perfect time to sit inside at night and enjoy some video games. The latest six-car G-Shock pack for Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox One is now here, and it gives players a very eclectic group of vehicles to race around the game's open world. This month's group of vehicles spans the decades ranging from 2015 back to 1953. The newest and only concept of the group is the 2015 Nissan IDX Nismo. Since the production chances for this retro coupe look increasingly slim, this game might be your only chance to get behind the concept's wheel. However, if you prefer driving something a bit more classic and Italian, the 1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial is available. To add one more flavor of performance, there is the 2010 Mazda Mazdasped 3 hot hatch, which is also this month's free car for download. In addition to three takes on the sports car, Turn 10 is also offering a trio of off-roaders. The quirkiest among them is the 1980 Subaru Brat GL, which features two jump seats in the back to avoid the dreaded chicken tax. If you prefer something more boxy and American, then the 1975 Ford Bronco is sure to please. Finally, for some real power to get through the mud, there's the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as tuned by Shelby with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 575 horsepower. As usual, the whole pack costs players $5 to download, or it's free as part of the season pass. Scroll down for a brief video showing all of these virtual rides off and read the press release about them from Turn 10 Studios. This content is hosted by a third party.

Are you ready to hit the roads of "Forza Horizon 2" for Xbox One in some new rides? You better be because the G-Shock Car Pack is lighting up the new year with some amazing vehicles. Leading off the pack is a "Forza" First: the 2015 Nissan IDx NISMO is making its videogame debut in "Forza Horizon 2." The IDx prototype harkens back to Nissan's storied automotive history, with its compact size and aggressive appearance, and looks to the future with some serious under-the-hood performance. Take a spin in this gem, and you will be startled by its performance and charmed by its presence. The remaining cars of the pack also have "Horizon Festival" written all over them.

China's FAW now building all three Mazda6 generations

Tue, 13 May 2014

The Chinese auto market is one of the most interesting in the world to look at. Its automakers appear to still be figuring things out and remain open to experimentation. For example, at this moment, you can buy new copies of all three generations of the Mazda6 from showrooms there.
Mazda joint-venture partner FAW recently introduced the latest generation to China as the Mazda6 Atenza, according to Just Auto. Yet buyers still have the option of getting the previous generation as well, which is sold as the Mazda6 Ruiyi. Obviously, that isn't too remarkable - companies in the US have briefly sold two generations of the same nameplate simultaneously for brief points in the past, and the practice is much more common in developing markets. However, Chinese consumers still have the third choice, too - the first-generation model that dates back to the early 2000s, is still on offer, known simply as Mazda6.
While it would be hard to imagine selling three generations of the same models at once in the US, the idea is an interesting one. We enjoyed our long-term test of the latest generation, and the previous models weren't bad cars either, so provided there's a healthy difference in pricing and marketplace confusion is limited by differing names, we can see it working. If nothing else, it's a fascinating illustration of how broad China's developing auto market really is.
